General

If the reverse stock split proposal is approved and implemented, the principal effect will be to proportionately decrease the number of outstanding shares of our common stock based on the reverse stock split ratio selected by our Board of Directors. Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The reverse stock split will not affect the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market. Following the reverse stock split, we expect that our common stock will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “PRVT”.

Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of our common stock will not be affected by the reverse stock split, other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares by rounding them up to the nearest whole share, as described below. For example, a holder of 5% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split will generally continue to hold 5% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock after the reverse stock split. The number of shareholders of record will not be affected by the reverse stock split. If approved and implemented, the reverse stock split may result in some shareholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of our common stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares. Our Board of Directors believes, however, that these potential effects are outweighed by the benefits of the reverse stock split.

9.1 General.

(a) Each of the Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Party’s representations and warranties to be true on and as of the Closing Date; and to perform such Party’s covenants hereunder; and to cause the conditions to any other’s performance of its obligations hereunder to occur in a timely manner.

(b) In case at any time prior to or after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and

 

48


documents) as any other Party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 10 below). Sellers acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, Buyer will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records, agreements, and financial data relating to the Company. Buyer shall have the right, prior to the Closing, to access books, records, documents, employees and clients as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in light of the circumstances to enable Buyer to conduct its pre-closing due diligence examination of the Company. Buyer and the Company agree that Sellers shall have the right following the Closing to have reasonable access to such documents, books, records and financial data for the purpose of concluding their involvement in the business of the Company prior to the Closing Date, to comply with or enforce their rights and obligations under this Agreement and applicable securities, Tax, employment or other laws and regulations, and to defend themselves in any litigation.

9.2 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any third party action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand in connection with (a) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company or the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the other Parties will reasonably cooperate with the contesting or defending Party and his, her or its counsel in the contest or defense, reasonably make available his, her or its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to his, her or its books and records, as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification with respect thereto under Article 10 below).

9.3 Restrictive Covenants. Sellers acknowledge and agree that substantial and valuable assets which belong to the Company include the trade names, Confidential Information, relationships with Clients and Suppliers and Prospective Clients and Suppliers, and goodwill of the Company, and that the relationships which the Company has with their employees and Clients and Suppliers are significant business relationships necessary for the Company to continue to operate its business. Sellers further acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, such Sellers will continue to have access to the aforesaid assets and relationships by virtue of continued employment with the Company following the Closing. Sellers further acknowledge and agree that each of Buyer and the Company have a reasonable, necessary and legitimate business interest in protecting the aforesaid assets and relationships and businesses, that the covenants set forth below are reasonable and necessary in order to protect these legitimate business interests, and that the covenants set forth below are a material inducement for Buyer to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, Sellers acknowledge and agree that monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for any material breach of any of their covenants contained in this Section 9.3, and that irreparable injury may result to Buyer and the Company or their successors in interest, in the event of any such material breach. Reference is made to Section 10.6 hereof relating to the rights of Buyer and the Company and their successors to equitable relief for breaches of this Section 9.3. Accordingly, each Seller individually agrees to the following restrictions which are specifically applicable to such Seller, effective as of the Closing Date:

49


(b) Each Seller will not, directly or indirectly, use, or willfully disclose to any Person, any Confidential Information of the Company or Buyer (provided, in the latter case, such Seller became familiar with such Confidential Information during his or her employment with the Company), except (A) in the Ordinary Course of Business on behalf of the Company or Buyer, as the case may be, (B) with the prior written consent of the Company or Buyer, as the case may be, or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with law or the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction, in which event such Seller shall notify Buyer as promptly as practicable (and, if possible, prior to the making of such disclosure).

(c) Each Seller will not, directly or indirectly, within the Restricted Territory, solicit the provision of any Company’s Business from, or otherwise induce the termination or non-renewal of any Company’s Business to, any Client or Supplier or Prospective Client or Supplier of the Company or Buyer (provided, in the latter case, that such Seller had substantial contact or became familiar with such Client or Supplier or Prospective Client or Supplier during his or her employment with the Company), except in the Ordinary Course of Business on behalf of the Company or Buyer. The restrictions contained in this subsection (c) shall terminate three (3) years after the Closing Date.

(d) Each Seller hereby agrees to refrain from Carrying on a Business which provides any Company’s Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date) within the Restricted Territory. The restrictions contained in this subsection (d) shall terminate co-extensively with the termination periods specified in subsection (c). The term “Carrying on a Business” shall mean to engage in any such business as a sole proprietor, partner, member of a limited liability company, officer, director, employee, consultant, contractor, stockholder or similar capacity. It is expressly agreed that the foregoing is not intended to restrict or prohibit, and shall not restrict or prohibit, the ownership by such Seller of stock or other securities of a publicly-held corporation in which he or she does not possess beneficial ownership of more than 5% of the voting stock of such corporation or participate in any management or advisory capacity.

(e) Each Seller will not, directly or indirectly, solicit any other employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or Buyer, or otherwise induce any employee, consultant or independent contractor to terminate his or her relationship, or to breach an employment agreement, with Buyer, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any other Buyer subsidiary.

General

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of the library of photographs and videos and other long lived assets, allowances for bad debt, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. Accounts receivable and sales related to certain products are, in accordance with industry practice, subject to distributors right of return to unsold items. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Management periodically reviews such estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of unexpected changes in trends.

We believe that our branded magazine titles and logos are valuable assets and are vital to the success and future growth of our businesses. We have filed trademark registration applications with respect to most of our trade names and logos. We believe that the name recognition and image that we have developed in each of our markets significantly enhance customer response to our sales promotions. We intend to aggressively defend our trademarks throughout the world, and we constantly monitor the marketplace for counterfeit products. We initiate legal proceedings from time to time to prevent unauthorized use of our trademarks.

We believe the
following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Recognition of Revenue

The Company sells magazines to wholesalers on firm sale basis and via
national newsstand distributors with the right to return. Our magazines are multi-lingual and the principal magazine market is in Europe.

 


- 33 -








Revenues from the sale of magazines under agreements that grant distributors rights-of-return are
recognized upon transfer of title, which generally occurs on delivery, net of an allowance for returned magazines. Distributors with the right to return are primarily national newsstand distributors. Most of our magazines are bi-monthly (six issues
per year) and remain on sale at a newsstand for a period of two months. Normally, all unsolds are reported to us within a period of four to six months from delivery. There are normally two to four national newsstand distributors for all newspapers
and periodicals operating in each country. A majority of our national newsstand distributors are members of Distripress, the international organization for publishers and distributors, and carry out the distribution of the largest national and
international newspapers and periodicals, including: Financial Times, Herald Tribune, Time, Newsweek, Vogue, etc.

The Company uses
specific return percentages per title and distributor based on estimates and historical data. The percentages vary from 50-80%. Higher percentages generally reflect newer markets and/or products. Percentages are reviewed on an on-going basis.

The magazines have an approximate retail price of EUR 11.50 (USD 16.90) per copy and are printed on glossy high-quality paper at a
cost of EUR 1.25 (USD 1.84). They are often shrink-wrapped in order to comply with local regulation or guidance for the sale of adult publications. In view of the high retail price, the margin and the physical quality of the magazines and the fact
that the content has a very long “shelf-life” since it is not particularly linked to time, trends, fashion or current events, the Company has always collected the returns from newsstands in order to make them available for sale again.

The Company has scheduled re-distribution of the returned magazines, via national newsstand distributors, as Megapacks or Superpacks
(three different copies per pack) where the retail price is EUR 14.95 (USD 21.99). As the national newsstand distributors have the right to return, the packs come back to us and are then broken up in individual copies in order to be sent out in DVD
packs, see below, or sold on firm sale basis to wholesalers as back numbers at a lower price than new issues.

The Company also operates
scheduled re-distribution of returned magazines, via national newsstand distributors, together with DVDs as Magazine/DVD packs as a way of increasing DVD distribution. Since the national newsstand distributors have the right to return, the DVD packs
are returned and the magazines are broken out in order to be sold on firm sale basis to wholesalers as back numbers at a lower price than new issues. The Company has historically sold all copies printed at an average price higher than, or equal, to
cost.

Revenues from the sale of DVD products under consignment agreements with distributors are recognized based upon reported sales by
the Company’s distributors. Revenues from the sale of subscriptions to the Company’s internet website are deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription period. Revenues from licensing of broadcasting rights to the Company’s
video and film library are recognized upon delivery when the following conditions have been met (i) license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition, or sale (ii) the arrangement fee is
fixed or determinable and (iii) collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.

Revenues from IPTV (Internet Protocol
Television), satellite & cable broadcasting are recognized based on sales reported each month by its IPTV, cable and satellite affiliates. The affiliates do not report actual monthly sales for each of their systems to the Company until
approximately 60—90 days after the month of service ends. This practice requires management to make monthly revenue estimates based on historical experience for each affiliated system. Revenue is subsequently adjusted to reflect the actual
amount earned upon receipt. Adjustments made to adjust revenue from estimated to actual have historically been immaterial.

Revenues from
mobile content sales (wireless) are recognized based on sales reported each month by mobile operators via aggregators. The aggregators do not report actual monthly sales for each of their operators to the Company until approximately 60—90 days
after the month of service ends. This practice requires management to make monthly revenue estimates based on historical experience for each affiliated system. Revenue is subsequently adjusted to reflect the actual amount earned upon receipt.
Adjustments made to adjust revenue from estimated to actual have historically been immaterial.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of the library of photographs and videos and other long lived assets, allowances for bad debt, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. Accounts receivable and sales related to certain products are, in accordance with industry practice, subject to distributors right of return to unsold items. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Management periodically reviews such estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of unexpected changes in trends.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of the library of photographs and videos and other long lived assets, allowances for bad debt, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. Accounts receivable and sales related to certain products are, in accordance with industry practice, subject to distributors right of return to unsold items. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Management periodically reviews such estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of unexpected changes in trends.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
